The fifth brother


The story from Arabian nights and its epitome,

life’s frustrations under our unique heavens dome.

The hero of the tail in luck of a modest legacy,

hundred silver coins from destinies hierarchy.

The brilliant idea to invest in fragile glassware,

taken them to the market to gain from the fare.

As Merchant sitting in the hot sun and musing,

how to pyramid the profit to flow ever oozing.

Two hundred with the first turnover, then four,

Allah wills grand me all and more.

A fine house with eunuchs and horses,

social prestige and influential sources.

Calling the most expensive marriage broker,

for the prime ministers daughter bespoke her.

Indeed all imagination until all length,

in that haughtiness completed strength.

The festive celebration in excellence performance,

bride and groom in gorgeous dresses accordance.

The opening dance a prestige’s protocol,

big steps which need to be floated on.

Striking out in his reverie, kicking fragile wares,

destroying his stock in short shattering affaires.

Make believe and its immortal confidence,

destiny and a muse in sympathy of providence.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
